Greenwich, south-east London. The Met"s crack murder squad, AMIP, is called out by nervous CID detectives to a grim discovery. Five bodies, all young women, all ritualistically murdered and dumped on wasteland near the Dome. As each post-mortem reveals a singular, horrific signature linking the victims, officers realize that they are on the trail of that most dangerous offender: a sexual serial killer.
Detective Inspector Jack Caffery - young, driven, unshockable - finds himself facing both
hostility within the force and echoes of his past in this, his first case with AMIP. Haunted
by the memory of a death long ago, he employs every weapon forensic science can offer for he
knows it is only a matter of time before this chaotic, sadistic killer strikes again.

這禎PDF小說的實體版小說，俺們在幾年前曾經買過。首先映入眼簾的是書名的中文翻譯有些糟糕！有鳥兒、但哪裡有鬼啼鬼叫？其實原因應該歸咎於原文出版時取名取得太過於菜市場名，實在有太多名人的暱稱取名為：「鳥人」了！Michael Keaton所主演的電影；撐竿跳名將布卡(Sergey Bubka)；籃球員：Chris Andersen的綽號；遊戲王GX動畫中的角色バードマン；還有一些英美的饒舌歌手就取這個名字！甚至還有個搖滾團體也叫『Radio Birdman』。他們有首快節奏歌曲：『Murder City Nights』其實也跟本書有關於謀殺的劇情相呼應！所以中文書名譯名還不如取作「博德曼」之類還比較貼切一些唄！『Birdman』在1999年發行，講述主角DI Jack Caffery探案的系列故事；續集是《治療》（Treatment）。雖然Mo Hayder阿姨已經在2021年因為運動神經元病變而逝去，但她所留下的系列作品：(1)Jack Caffery series
(2)Stand-alone novels(3)Writing as Theo Clare：The Book of Sand (2022)。將源遠流長、長留在讀者心中吧！雖然版上的囝仔對於原作者的作品陌生異常，但若對懸疑曲折的劇情小說有興趣的囝仔，不妨將之載下，細細品讀一番唄！٩( ᐛ )٩
